So long, farewell, but not goodbye
I know we'll meet again
'cos I've seen in your eyes
the spark that lights the dreams of rocket men
And you still chase that light
That takes you to the place you'll always know
Takes you home
I don't know if I will make it
All I know is that the sun
Keeps on shining when you're gone
So I ride the wave that takes me
To that time when we were young
And you were always number one
They say it's too late to write your
name in lights across the sky
That you've had your time
But you'd risk it all for one last chance to fly
Cause you still chase that light
That takes you to the place you'll always know
Takes you home
But I don't know if I will make it
All I know is that the sun
Keeps on shining when you're gone
So I ride the wave that takes me
To that time when we were young
And you were always number one
It's a brand new life
It's a glorious day
It's a golden sun
They'll write your name
In the fire & blood
When we're long gone
you were always number one
I know we'll meet again
'cos I've seen in your eyes
the spark that lights the dreams of rocket men
And you still chase that light
That takes you to the place you'll always know
Takes you home
I don't know if I will make it
All I know is that the sun
Keeps on shining when you're gone
So I ride the wave that takes me
To that time when we were young
And you were always number one
They say it's too late to write your
name in lights across the sky
That you've had your time
But you'd risk it all for one last chance to fly
Cause you still chase that light
That takes you to the place you'll always know
Takes you home
But I don't know if I will make it
All I know is that the sun
Keeps on shining when you're gone
So I ride the wave that takes me
To that time when we were young
And you were always number one
It's a brand new life
It's a glorious day
It's a golden sun
They'll write your name
In the fire & blood
When we're long gone
you were always number one
